Ingredients

• 170 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 120 grams Brown sugar, packed
• 2 units Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 100 grams Shredded sweetened coconut
• 120 grams Macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
• 100 grams White chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded coconut, macadamia nuts, and white chocolate chips (if using) with a rubber spatula.

Step 7

Using a medium cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.

Step 8

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly underbaked but will set as the cookies cool.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy your chewy coconut macadamia nut cookies!
